Among the oddities of geological folk
lore l fiud the Srasshopper written down
as an idle and thoughtless person. 1t is
of a loquacious kind, a chatterer, and
therefore flighty, irresponsible, a ne'er do
weel. 1t starvcs when hard times come;
begs its bread in winter. SO it figures as
the opposite of the ant; n contrast to the
silent and Industrious emmett. How old
the idea may be no n a say, but, at
any rate, it is venerable as the most
ancient Sanskrit legends. For there we
find the %grasshopper spoken of as an i'm
provident individual and an unreliable.
1t runs a race with the ant, but after
taking some astonishing leaps it takes a
nap, just as the hare does when racing
the tortoise, and of course the ant plods
in first. Again, it neglects to store its
larder, and the ant-a detestable little
prig in folklore-gives it a good lectur-
ing when it ought instead to help the
poor mendicant to a grain of wheat

A Death.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. pa
special to the Denver Republican says:
Sunday morning about $50 o'clock a man
attempted to board Denver & Rio
Grande freight traiq No. IS, north bound,
while it was in motion in the above com
pany's yard. He caught hold of the lad
der of one of the cars, but not being
strong enough to retain his hold he fell
beneath the wheels, six cars and the
caboOse passing over his body just below
the stomach, cutting him almost in halves.
He was taken up dead and carried to the
undertaking rooms of Hallett & Baker.
A letter found on his person was ad-
dressed to B.. A. TORY. The letter seems
to have been written by the dead mans
mother, who lives at Kingman, Kas,,
Tory was a man about five feet seven
inches high, dark hair, whiskers and
moustache, and blue eyes. He might
have been a consumptive, he was SO very
slight. He was a stranger here. No one
seems to be blamed in the matter. the
trainmen not knowing that their train had
run over and killed the man until they
had passed some distance from the spot.
